Amanda Bynes' Psychiatric Hold At Treatment Facility Extended for Two More Weeks

Amanda Bynes is staying in treatment. According to E! News, the actress will spend two more weeks in a California treatment facility, after being placed on a three-day involuntary psychiatric hold.

The 28-year-old actress, who was reportedly tricked into flying back from New York to Los Angeles, was checked into Las Encinas Hospital for evaluation. Bynes' attorney, Tamar Arminak, confirmed the news to Reuters on Friday.

According to their website, Las Encinas offers "a wide range of behavioral health care treatment options are offered for patients with psychiatric, chemical dependency, or co-occurring disorders."

E! News reported that Bynes' parents were spotted visiting their daughter after she was checked in.

Bynes has been displaying erratic behavior in recent weeks, including being arrested and charged with a driving under the influence and going on going on a Twitter rant, where she accused her father of sexual assault.

"My dad was verbally and physically abuse to me as a child," Bynes wrote. "He called me ugly as a child and then asked me if I wanted to have sex with him and i did not know how to respond and I said no and then I was forced to live with my dad which was a total nightmare."

She continued: "My dad fondled himself in front of me so many times that i started recording him on my phone in hopes of catching him saying or doing something inappropriate around me so I could get him arrested & put in jail for the rest of his perverted life. My mom knows that my father's literally and physically incestual towards his own daughter and the fact that she never called the police on Him embarrasses me to no end. So, today I am meeting with a lawyer to get a restraining order against my dad."

The actress later retracted her remake and blamed the make on a "microchip" in her head, writing, "My dad never did any of those things. The microchip in my brain made me say those things but he's the one that ordered them to microchip me."
